Police investigating a brutal attack on staff at a Hamilton Kmart store have now interviewed the battered workers as the hunt for the culprits continues.
A police spokeswoman confirmed today that staff at the store had been spoken to yesterday and that inquiries were ongoing.
At the time, the offenders - two women - were allegedly trying to leave the store without paying for goods.
In a video of the incident posted to Facebook, security staff can be seen wrestling with one woman pulling a young female security officer's hair.
Another woman - armed with kitchen tongs - uses them to stab the back of the young female security staffer before stabbing a male staff member trying to stop her from taking goods out of the store.

A member of the public, wearing a red hat, steps in trying to help as the first woman continues to pull at the young security guard's hair.
Other members of the public can be seen standing back as one of the women manages to break through carrying a bunch of clothes and what appears to be a hair straightener.
It is understood the pair managed to get away. After the incident, staff closed the store.
Police confirmed they received a report of an assault at a commercial property on Bryce St just after 11.30pm on Saturday.
"It looks like two people were injured but declined medical assistance," a statement said.
Police officers responded but were unable to find any staff still on site, police said.
